> Problem statement:
> YARN currently lets you define an NM's pcore count, and a pcore:vcore ratio. Containers are then allowed to request vcores between the minimum and maximum defined in the yarn-site.xml.
> In the case where a single-threaded container requests 1 vcore, with a pcore:vcore ratio of 1:4, the container is still allowed to use up to 100% of the core it's using, provided that no other container is also using it. This happens, even though the only guarantee that YARN/CGroups is making is that the container will get "at least" 1/4th of the core.
> If a second container then comes along, the second container can take resources from the first, provided that the first container is still getting at least its fair share (1/4th).
> There are certain cases where this is desirable. There are also certain cases where it might be desirable to have a hard limit on CPU usage, and not allow the process to go above the specified resource requirement, even if it's available.
> Here's an RFC that describes the problem in more detail:
> http://lwn.net/Articles/336127/
> Solution:
> As it happens, when CFS is used in combination with CGroups, you can enforce a ceiling using two files in cgroups:
> {noformat}
> cpu.cfs_quota_us
> cpu.cfs_period_us
> {noformat}
> The usage of these two files is documented in more detail here:
> https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Resource_Management_Guide/sec-cpu.html
> Testing:
> I have tested YARN CGroups using the 2.0.5-alpha implementation. By default, it behaves as described above (it is a soft cap, and allows containers to use more than they asked for). I then tested CFS CPU quotas manually with YARN.
> First, you can see that CFS is in use in the CGroup, based on the file names:
> {noformat}
>     [criccomi@eat1-qa464 ~]$ sudo -u app ls -l /cgroup/cpu/hadoop-yarn/
>     total 0

> {noformat}
> Oddly, it appears that the cfs_period_us is set to .1s, not 1s.
> We can place processes in hard limits. I have process 4370 running YARN container container_1371141151815_0003_01_000003 on a host. By default, it's running at ~300% cpu usage.

> {noformat}
> On my dev box, I was testing CGroups by running a python process eight times, to burn through all the cores, since it was doing as described above (giving extra CPU to the process, even with a cpu.shares limit). Toggling the cfs_quota_us seems to enforce a hard limit.
> Implementation:
> What do you guys think about introducing a variable to YarnConfiguration:
> bq. yarn.nodemanager.linux-container.executor.cgroups.cpu-ceiling-enforcement
> The default would be false. Setting to true, would cause YARN's LCE to set:
> {noformat}
> cpu.cfs_quota_us=(container-request-vcores/nm-vcore-to-pcore-ratio) * 1000000
> cpu.cfs_period_us=1000000
> {noformat}
> For example, if a container asks for 2 vcores, and the vcore:pcore ratio is 4, you'd get:
> {noformat}
> cpu.cfs_quota_us=(2/4) * 1000000 = 500000
> cpu.cfs_period_us=1000000
> {noformat}
> This would cause CFS to cap the process at 50% of clock cycles.
> What do you guys think?
> 1. Does this seem like a reasonable request? We have some use-cases for it.
> 2. It's unclear to me how cpu.shares interacts with cpu.cfs_*. I think the ceiling is hard, no matter what shares is set to. I assume shares only comes into play if the CFS quota has not been reached, and the process begins competing with others for CPU resources.
> 3. Should this be an LCE config (yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor), or should it be a generic scheduler config (yarn.scheduler.enforce-ceiling-vcores).
